I'm reading that far from being intimidated, the careerists among the feebies are pissed. If president fou-year-old was a little smarter, he might have been able to use Comey's quasi-wounded status as director to slow the investigation down long enough to figure a way to weasel out of it, but he's just not.<br /> It sure looks like he just never expected to win, so he sort of didn't pay that much attention to the consequences of what his campaign was doing, because what would it matter? And now that he actually has to answer for all of that stuff that looked like great trolling or tough guy stuff at the time, he doesn't know what to do. <br /> And meanwhile the wheels are starting to come off of the government, with hundreds of positions unfilled and the obvious resulting bad decisions piling up around him and/or being shot down in the courts.<br /> If he actually believed that he could just do it all himself without even trying to learn how, that would explain a lot of his more peculiar behavior.<br /> I actually think he just stepped on it really hard, and doesn't quite realize that yet. If he can deal with owning his mistake in public, he might have a chance, but I'm skeptical about that.<br /><br /> -Doug in Oaklanddinthebeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941071534250216503noreply@blogger.com
